Dynamic Microgrids With Self-Organized Grid-Forming Inverters in Unbalanced Distribution Feeders

Distribution Grid Restoration by Forming Resiliency-oriented Less- Vulnerable Microgrids

In this paper a new method is introduced to increase the resiliency of a distribution grid by forming robust microgrids after extreme contingencies following disasters. The method tries to serve as much load as possible by forming microgrids with alleviated vulnerability based on the Manchester model and optimal AC power flow. The main feature of the proposed method is that the formed microgrid...

Resilient Distribution System by Forming/coupling Microgrids in Extreme Contigencies

The ability of the distribution system to efficiently withstand low-probability, high-impact events; while enabling a quick recovery and restoration to the normal state is interpreted as resiliency. Microgrids with distributed generation (DG) provide a resilient solution in the case of major faults in a distribution system due to natural disasters. Microgrids could be formed to supply the maxim...

Smart Grid Inverters to Support Photovoltaics in Distribution Systems

With increasing penetration levels of solar PV, the need for inverter technology to provide grid support has become more and more critical. Since 2009, EPRI and industry partners have been working to establish a common set of functions that can provide such capability. The development of a common set of functions is complete, however, very little work to date has addressed the impact these comm...

Determining the Optimal Location and Amount of Distributed Generation Sources in an Unbalanced Radial Distribution Grid

Optimal placement of scattered generator sources in the main and secondary feeders of radial grid reduces energy losses, releases the capacity of existing feeders and improves the existing voltage profile. In this project determine the location and suitable for the production of production resources S cattered in radial feeders of unbalanced distribution networks, a new formulation solution is ...
